Additional risks of contaminated ground exist in an area where an older building was renovated or demolished. It’s possible that when the building was taken down, asbestos wasn’t disposed of correctly. This material may have been buried intact, mixed with other wastes, or even potentially imported to another site as a recycled product or ground fill material.

The people residing in the contaminated area might be affected by damaging effects of airborne asbestos fibres. It has been reported that exposure to asbestos fibres may trigger the development of numerous aggressive diseases such as asbestosis and lung cancers. It is very important to be protected from the detrimental effects of asbestos by implementing appropriate safety control measures in or around contaminated areas.

Fast & accurate pre-inspection for the identification of asbestos in your property

It can be difficult for those not trained in asbestos detection, to recognise asbestos in soil, particulary if it is ground to small pieces. Most property owners will discover asbestos sheeting buried in the ground and discover the contamination that way. Sometimes home owners have discovered through records that their home sits on a previous waste site, and that is when they have called in for soil testing to be performed. If you come across a suspicious material in the ground, it's important to not disturb it any further and to call our Asbestos Soil Remediation Team immediately.

Our Asbestos Soil Remediation Team offer swift inspection services to property owners in most areas. We will schedule an inspection at your earliest convenience to determine the likely amount of contamination in your ground.

When required, we will arrange for full and complete testing that may include:

Background knowledge of the area in question

The amount of contamination

Likely source of contaminant

You have to keep in mind that assessing contaminated ground can be as simple as taking one small sample to the laboratory, or as complex as performing multiple measured and repeated, different depth core sample collections. This should only be attempted by qualified personnel. You can trust our Asbestos Soil Remediation Team to deliver a prompt and quick analysis.

Removal of soil that contains asbestos

After the inspection, our Asbestos Soil Remediation Team will work with you to discuss the most appropriate soil remediation service that suits your needs, budget, and schedule. Depending on the level of contamination, our Asbestos Soil Remediation Team may perform the removal by hand or using machines for excavation.

To ensure that everyone near the area stays safe prior to removal, do not remove any soil or equipment from the contaminated area yourself.

Transport and dispose of asbestos waste properly

The hazardous material will be isolated and treated properly for transportation purposes. The waste material will be carefully disposed of in an approved EPA licensed facility.
